With three races of the 2024 Asia Triathlon Cup to go, Ng and Kazakhstan’s Ayan Beisenbayev are separated by just 70 points in the standings.

Head coach Andrew Wright says Jason Ng will have the best team possible to support him as he tackles final stage of qualification for Summer Olympics.

Oscar Coggins tackled feelings of hatred for triathlon after a ‘crushing’ Asian Games experience, with the help of a clinical psychologist he is in the best mental and physical shape of his life.

Jason Ng finishes sixth at Asian Triathlon Championships in Japan, but with China’s Fan Junjie grabbing podium spot the battle to top the rankings is still anyone’s to win.

Head coach Andrew Wright believes Jason Ng’s main challenger for Olympic qualification, Ayan Beisenbayev, is wilting under the pressure of the Paris chase.

Lucy Charles-Barclay faces elite competition in the tour’s second leg, with defending champion Ashleigh Gentle and Daniel Ryft among those to beat.

Ng’s four-placed finish could see him push ahead in race for Paris, as Robin Elg finished sixth and Mark Yu eighth; Bailee Brown was best women’s finisher.

Robin Elg has been tasked with helping teammate Jason Ng chase Olympic qualifying points at this weekend’s event in mainland China.

The race in China on Sunday will be her first triathlon of any distance since sustaining a nasty injury to her left middle finger last September.

Wright says several of his team had ‘very good’ races at the recent World Cup, and with a fit full team, ‘we will have a very good medal hope’ next year.

The 38-year-old former world champion finished 11th in Hong Kong and is aiming to show it is possible to return to elite competition after time out of sport to start a family.

Jason Ng and Bailee Brown will line-up against Asian Games gold medal winner Kenji Nener, and Olympic bronze medallists Katie Zaferes and Vicky Holland on Sunday.

Coggins is back in training but has been advised to focus his sights on the 2025 National Games, while Hilda Choi Yan-yin is set to return after injuring a finger before the Asian Games.

Jason Ng and Bailee Brown finish second and third in respective elite races at Asia Triathlon Cup event in Hong Kong, as sport shines in city’s Central district.

Head coach Andrew Wright says March 2024’s ‘genuine world-class event’ can revolutionise the sport in the city – ‘where else do you have a backdrop like Hong Kong’s?’

Hong Kong triathlon officials investigating effects of Covid-19 vaccine on the 24-year-old with blood tests – ‘in the past two years when he got sick, it really whacked him’.

The head coach of Hong Kong Triathlon says the forthcoming Asia Triathlon Cup in Central has the potential to deliver immediate and far-reaching gains for the sport in the city.

Ruby Cheng will realise a decade-long dream when she competes in the Ironman World Championship on Saturday, having battled back from redundancy and physical and mental setbacks.

Bailee Brown slips out of medal contention on gruelling run in Hangzhou on Saturday, while Hong Kong’s equestrian team make strong start to eventing competition.

Andrew Wright says he takes ‘full responsibility’ after Jason Ng finishes fifth and Oscar Coggins withdraws early from Friday’s race in Hangzhou.

The team head to Hangzhou for a World Cup event – but the fairly flat running course will not prepare them for a daunting route at the Games, which Andrew Wright calls ‘the hilliest I’ve ever seen’.

Olympic qualification points and Asian Games places up for grabs at race at Plover Cove next weekend.
